This is your average manual propelled wheelchair. It is durable, lightweight, and can fold to compact size when not in use, to be carried or placed in a vehicle.
One square wide, One square long.
Crew: 1 (max weight capacity 250 lbs.), Passenger(s): 0, Cargo Capacity: 5 lbs., Top Speed: 30 feet, Defense: 10, Hit Points: 12, Hardness 5, Break DC 20, Size: Medium, Purchase DC 16, Restriction: None., weight: 36 lbs.
Standard Electric Wheelchair
The electric wheelchair comes with more accessories and features than a manual wheelchair, such as power tilting, adjustable recliner, and a higher weight capacity. Batteries will last for twenty miles until needing to be recharged for eight hours. Can be folded and unfolded for transport as the manual wheelchair can.
One square wide, one square long.
Crew: 1, (max weight capacity 350 lbs.), Passenger(s): 0, Cargo Capacity: 10 lbs., Top Speed: 30 feet, Defense: 9, Hit Points: 12, Hardness 5, Break DC 20, Size: Large, Purchase DC 23, Restriction: None., weight: 62
Cover Rules:
If a wheelchair is armored:
From front or top: No cover
From side: 1/4 cover
From Rear: 3/4 cover
Wheelchair Feat:
Wheelchair Operation: You have learned to effectively operate a wheelchair.
Prerequisite: after 3d4 weeks of time spent using a wheelchair this feat is gained.
Benefit: Gain the benefit of drive-by-attack while using a wheelchair and the occupant gains a run speed of x4. Can now perform maneuvers without penalty(?). Occupant has full dex bonus to defense.
Normal: The occupant has a run speed of x3 and takes a -4 penalty on all maneuvers(?), and can only use attack options before or after the wheelchair's movement for the round ends. Occupant has only half dex bonus to defense (rounded down).
Apparently, if we're going to make it possible to stat wheelchair racers, there's going to need to be a few wheelchair operation feats... that or we could allow Fast Hero's Increased Speed ability to affect the Manual Wheelchair.
Increased speed should work with the manual wheelchair.
Wheelchair racers and faster wheelchairs would be statted from racing wheelchairs. Wheelchair racing (or extended use of the wheelchair's top speed) would probably involve CON or STR checks for the amount of effort involved. It makes sense that just to operate a wheelchair doesn't require a feat, but you could apply feats like vehicle dodge to it...can't think of others for a wheelchair at the moment
A techie could jury-rig or modify an electric wheelchair to go faster.
Also, wheelchair useres can keep up with people without much trouble. 5 feet per round sounds pretty danged slow to me.
The issue is manouverability and terrain. You try to take a high-speed turn in a wheelchair and you'll end up on your face, under the chair. You're just plain screwed on sand, cobble-stone, or mud.
Let me suggest this, 30 fee per round, base speed. Just like everyone else, but a turning radius, kind of like flying. If you try to take a turn of more than 90 degrees when moving at full speed, you have to make a Drive/Pilot check or you over-turn the chair.
Furthermore, terrain modifiers double for wheelchairs, so if something would normally force you to move at half speed, you're actually at one-quarter speed.
Finally, Running in a wheelchair should actually be more difficult because the arms are not built for continuous use the same way that legs are, so the Run multiplier is x3 instead of x4, or x4 with the Run feat.
How's that?

Sizes once again reduced further to medium for the manual wheelchair, and large for the electric.
You sure you want to do that? I mean, the electric motorized wheelchair is no larger than a Harley-Davidson hog.
I use a wheelchair, scooter and a powerchair and by far the powerchair is the best. I refer to mine as the dozer cause I can move furnature with it. It can easily push a couch and I have on more than one occasion accidentally moved the stove and the frige. It moves well through rough terain like gravel and even dirt.
It has a pretty good top speed and if you know how you can adjust the speed to go faster.
My wife jokes that if they made a snow blade for it I could plow the driveway.
Also just wanted to comment on the wheelchair stuff, a wheelchair is VERY manuverable due to the fact that one wheel can be reversed and it can turn on a dime. I'm not sure that a person should lose thier dex bonus in a wheelchair, maybe take a partial hit but not all. Someone who has been in a wheelchair for a long time can make them do some pretty neat stuff.
I had a friend that was in a wheelchair for 30+ years and he could do wheelies and spins and even sqauck the tires on the right pavement.

That is [b]MY[/b] parking space you @#$%!!!
and I'm looking at that wheelchair...
...hmmmm...
These are Nuclear...
and that is a Wheelchair...
...
...nope, nuthin comes to mind
oh well
In my experiance for the first 3 months this would be true but after that your body adapts and the arm put on a lot of muscle mass.
Last year I spent 4 months in a wheelchair and I would go outside and wheel up and down the road with the kids from the area. We would race a lot and after 3 months I was able to win almost everytime. On down and back races I had a huge advantage because I could do a rapid deceleration and spin and take back off so I lost no time on the turn around.
By the middle of the 4th month I was actually able to go faster than the wheelchair was able to go(the front tires would wobble and I had to back off)
But with the right wheelchair you can go much faster.
Also with a wheelchair you can travel more effeciantly than with running, when your running and you stop what happens? YOU STOP. When in a wheel chair you can build up speed and coast and rest your arms for a few seconds and lose very little speed.
I also wanted to talk about the wheelchair providing no cover. In the d20 modern world it wouldnt be that hard to make a few minor modifacations to a wheelchair to provide good cover from the rear and sides.
Kevlar material on the back and side wouldnt add much wieght and would provide some armor. If you were fleeing someone who was shooting at you all you would need to do is keep your head down(easy to do when going fast) and all that would be exposed would be the calves and feet and even those could be covered.
Its just a few thoughts, if ya have questions feel free to ask. I am in and out of wheelchairs due to nerve damage in my back.
Rellim Reeb
After reading through this thread, I had this vision of a PC surviving some catastrophic event that brought them to the brink of death (if not for some good Fort Saves.)-- The PC has lost the use of their legs (as the Resulting Roll on some non-existant Near Death Table has deemed). In some games this character would be retired, and new character rolled up... But with the wheelchair option your character could heroically beat the odds, and remain active, if now propelled by wheels.
Other party members could get their friend to hide contraband by hiding it under them or whatnot.
Nice work BlueFox!
rellimreeb: What are your thoughts on being able to perform maneuvers such as in the vehicles section of the core book? Tight turning and spins, jumps and landing them to name a few.
Wheelchair Operation: You have learned to effectively operate a wheelchair.
Prerequisite: after 3d4 weeks of time spent using a wheelchair this feat is gained.
Benefit: Gain the benefit of drive-by-attack while using a wheelchair and the occupant gains a run speed of x4. Can now perform maneuvers without penalty(?). Occupant has full dex bonus to defense.
Normal: The occupant has a run speed of x3 and takes a -4 penalty on all maneuvers(?), and can only use attack options before or after the wheelchair's movement for the round ends. Occupant has only half dex bonus to defense (rounded down).
Damn. A wheelchair character with all these options could be a really fun "gotcha!" at a game. Maybe an NPC in a suped-up chair kicking the asses of a group of heroes. It's got possibilities. Only problem is really still terrain.
Check my Gadgets, post #14, I added(edit) Kevlar & other material armor back on the 6th.
Option for providing cover from kevlar added, does one-quarter seems reasonable? For the feat wheelchair operation it can be as an extra feat so it doesn't take up feat slots, and is given free to those with a background in using a wheelchair. About modifying with kevlar and other materials, it's a great idea.

Normal: The occupant has a run speed of x3 and takes a -4 penalty on all maneuvers(?). Cannot use a modified wheelchair for cover, and can only use attack options before or after the wheelchair's movement for the round ends.
I agree that the feat should be free after a certain amount of time...but at the same time, if the character regains full use of his or her legs (Medical miracle/major healing spell/whatever) there should be significant penalties for some time in most cases--at least for things that require split second reactions like combat. It would, I expect, take time to regain normal mobility.
After I was down with a sprained ankle for a bit, I was certainly boxing less effecively for a bit (in game terms, perhaps a -1 to AC and hit rolls for a week) and that was only a couple weeks out of action.
So--long time in wheelchair (long enough to get the feat of wheelchair opperation for free) gives penalties for a bit when/if use of legs is regained.
Note that vehicle rules include facing, so I would modify the cover as follows, if the wheelchair is armored:
From front or top: No cover
From side: 1/4 cover
From Rear: 3/4 cover
Does this seem reasonable?
Or we could grab a bit of CyberDave's system and have Chair HD/HP reflected in the SuperStructure Material properties?

granting a scale of Hardness/HP/Penalties/Bonuses
What about a skill for extreme wheelchair moves, would be dex based.
All we would need is a list of wild moves someone might try in a wheelchair and figure out the DC for them, that way when you wanna try something wild on a wheelchair you can just roll your skill.
Terrain has been brought up a lot. One thing that most people dont think about is that someone in a wheelchair looks at things differently than those who can walk. We can map out a way to get around area that are diffacult to get through or find the areas that are the easiest to go through. Also any rough terrain thats 20 foot or under most people in a wheelchair can power through and lose very little speed.
Anything over 20 feet would cause a problem.
cut grass, light gravle would be 1/2 speed
high grass and heavy gravel would be 1/4 speed
sand, rough dirt would be 1/8 th speed
Some terrain most people would think is impossable for a wheelchair to get through but you would be suprized, where theres a will theres a way and some people have very strong wills.
I have seen people who will literally fall out of thier wheelchair and crawl while dragging thier wheelchair behind them when they couldnt wheel through an area. The same is done on stairs at times.
Also the possablity for hidden weapons on or inside a wheelchair is insane, there is so much that can be done with a modified wheelchair. Like in alien ressurection, the guy in a wheelchair was able to take parts off his chair and assemble a gun.
Heck even just a pop out blade in the front would do massive damage. Imagine a 10 inch blade on the front of a chair, mounted high it would hit the knee or calf, mounted low you could hamstring someone very easily.
Just a few thoughts, feel free to ask anything else.
Rellim Reeb
). For the materials scale, go for it. The materials list can be used for a lot of other stuff, it gives me ideas for vehicles. About the terrain movement, could there be modifications or gadgets to improve the speed and accessibility on terrain rellim? Feel free to list other wheelchair types, I'm thinking to make a lightweight design for increased speed, we've already got powerchair to be statted next.If people can start listing stunts we could start making DCs for them. Rather than make a new skill, balance could take the part of the skill. I'll take a shot at a few.
The turns, braking, and avoiding hazard would be useful when you modifications for a lot of increased speed and the run modifier. Here are some stunts:
Jump (distance jumped and a DC to land), Hard turns (45, 90, 180 degrees), Hard braking, Avoid Hazard (DC depending on the hazard), Ram, Regain control (if hit by vehicle, going downhill, after not avoiding hazard, etc.)
As for a normal wheelchair I'm guessing that specialized tires could be made to help in rough terrain, wider tires, thicker tred.
as for gadgets for d20 modern a pair of hydrolic rams would be sweet, would work for when your stuck or if you need to get a door open.
A brush gaurd/push bar with optional machine gun mounts.
Guns mounted on the armrests with autofire for straffing an area while moving.
spring loaded arm in the back for throwing grenades.
Ginsu attitude ajusters on the front for when people cut in line in front of you at the store.
Quick release arm rests that work as a pair of batons.
bolo launcher mounted just under the feet.
electric shock handles for when a bad guy is pushing you.
Will try to think of some more gadgets later.

Smart jokes-- lol!
1. The painfully slow reload time: Something that wont use advanced power for operation wouldnt use advanved power for reload. One would assume a winch reset system, even though done with an electric motor would be horribly slow without a large electrical outlay, whichthen asks why springs instead of solenoid.... which would be answerd that the spring can store more power than the solenoid can produce... which means slow energy buildup accumulating into the spring for massive release... and we are back to a slow geared down winch to retract a spring glove far more powerfull than the electricity used to operate (reset) the system.
2. A Spring Boxing Glove would mount to the chair Armrest/Side... making its punches land above the knees & below the belt.... you figure out just where that is on your own
... oh, and ???
Just what is the derailing now?
WheelchairGadget Requests?

Damage 1d4:, critical: 20, damage type: bludgeoning, weight: 3 lbs.
backstabbist is the gadget master, but I decided to try making one (so feel free to modify this base for the glove backstabbist). Wheelchair requests are taken seriously since people must have a use for them if they want to see stats for the requested gadgets, and it adds to the gadget library. For hoverchairs, i'll look through d20 future for some ideas. This thread is all about wheelchairs. That includes any gadgets for wheelchairs. Requests and suggestions give additional ideas for new gadgets.

Here's the spring powered boxing glove, reloaded by manually resetting the spring. Its effectiveness in combat is rather limited by a slow reload time, short reach, low damage from being a boxing glove, and the difficulty in 'aiming' the glove at an opponent.

Oh no, its not that he did poorly. He did very well, actually, and he wanted us to mount an m60 on his wheel chair because he was the only one with the feat to use the weapon.
But the player's an egoist at times, particularly when he gets a smidgeon of power or advantage over the other players (like a rocket launcher). So he lords that stuff over us and tries to make us do what he wants through coercion and terror.
So, facing down his rocket launcher, I took my sledge hammer and mangled the left wheel of his wheel chair to the point where he would just turn in a circle if he moved and threatened to leave him for the zombies.

One of the ideas I had was mounting a circular bladed weapon to each wheel hub with a quick release so that a pair of melee or ranged weapons are always close at hand.
If the character is good with throwing weapons then there could be multiple mounting points on the rims for stacks of throwing stars or stacks of throwing knives on the spokes.
All this could be made easy to conceal by adding a thin decorative shell on the outside of the wheel that can be poped off when needed.
As for stating up the powerchairs, make sure you give it a good speed and manuvarablity and an insane pushing power. There is no piece of furnature in my house that I cant move with my powerchair.
